Whole Wheat Orange Loaf

I had a few oranges that had been lying at home for more than 2 weeks (luckily they did not spoil). I wanted to use them up and one evening I suddenly came up with this. This is a combination of the muffin and the raisin bread recipes on the blog. I wasn’t sure how it would come out so I made it with half the measure. I wasn’t planning to add any sweetener but the orange juice wasn’t sweet enough and I had to add some honey.

Mix the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add orange zest, orange juice and honey and mix well. Fold in the dried cranberries and bake in a greased loaf pan or muffin tray at 3500 F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick/knife comes out clean.

Note – A handheld grater works really well for zesting citrus. Make sure you don’t grate too hard else the white pith will make it bitter. The zest gives an added flavour to any dish.

About Us

We have been friends for a long time and we have done it all: bunked classes, watched movies, sleepovers, trips and more. Some friendships last only through the school or college years but looks like this one was meant to be…because we are still friends.
After having cooked for our families and friends for a few years, we had the urge to cook for others. This led to the idea of opening a restaurant called ‘Square Meals’, which would take patrons on a gastronomic journey through different parts of India. The restaurant never materialized and the next best thing was this blog.
The Square Meals blog provides taste-tested recipes for you to try in your own kitchens. Join us on our culinary journey as we share some of our mouth-watering creations with foodies all over the world.
